Hook Lighthouse
William Marshal, a Knights Templar, known as the Greatest Knight, built the lighthouse tower to protect and develop the shipping trade, which was so important in the 13th century. Monks looked after the lighthouse tower until 1641. Lightkeepers and their families lived at the lighthouse until 1977.
Hook Lighthouse is truly one of a kind. Step back in time with a guided tour of this astonishing still-intact medieval lighthouse. Watch out for that refreshing sea spray though, it can reach the top of the lighthouse in stormy weather! And be sure to leave time to treat yourself with a coffee and homemade scone in the cafe? before you journey on to explore the Norman castles, Cistercian abbeys, historical gardens and sandy beaches all around beautiful County Wexford.
A jewel in the Irelands Ancient East crown, guided tours of the lighthouse tower are on offer seven days a week, while bespoke and private tours including sunrise and sunset options are also available. The sunrise and sunset tours are lead by a local guide and culminate in the watch-room and balcony.
